On August 10, 1949, A.V. Roe (Avro) Canada Ltd.’s C-102 Jetliner took to the sky. It was the first Canadian passenger jet aircraft to fly in North America. Unfortunately the C-102 Jetliner was 13 days behind the first flight of the de Havilland 106 Comet out of the United Kingdom, making it the second passenger jet aircraft to fly in the world. While the C-102 Jetliner would never carry any paying passengers, it did conduct the world’s first jet airmail flight from Toronto, Ontario, to New York

In 1927, Elsie MacGill graduated from the University of Toronto, becoming the first woman in Canada to receive a degree in electrical engineering, and later became the world’s first female aircraft designer. In 1929, MacGill earned her master’s degree in aeronautical engineering from the University of Michigan, and was shortly thereafter afflicted with acute infantile myelitis, a form of polio. Determined to walk again, MacGill supported herself during her recovery by writing articles on

During the Second World War, Canada’s National Research Council was the centre of Canadian contributions to radar technology. With NRC’s help, Canada installed the first operating radar system in North America – a coastal defence system near Halifax. A few years later, building on secret British war plans, NRC designed one of the first mass-produced radar systems manufactured in Canada. In the late 1930s, NRC began to explore the possibility of detecting aircraft by electrical means. Meanwhile

Imagine an aircraft carrier that is unsinkable, self-repairing and virtually invisible to the enemy. In the midst of the Second World War, Winston Churchill made a direct request to Canada to build just such a vessel – out of ice. In 1943, the National Research Council of Canada teamed up with the British government in a secret project code-named Habakkuk (after an Old Testament prophet). The idea was to carve floating airfields out of thick slabs of ice. These airfields would provide mobile

Long before crime-fighting wizardry captured the public’s eye, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) possessed one of the world’s best bomb sniffers. NRC built the first device three decades ago to battle terrorism in the skies. Today, Canada’s national Research Council technology remains the hallmark in explosives detection. In the 1970s, NRC was well-known for its expertise in the analysis of chemical vapours. So when Canadian aviation security officials were concerned about hijackings and
